This a Walters Gardens introduction. I find it grows best in filtered
light. It is small (under 18 ")(*in width*)(how am I doing Robyn?) and
has heart shaped leaves (about 3" across) that are nicely cupped, and
have clear white borders that streak back into the center of the leaf.
When properly grown this plant is one of the nicest Hostas I know. It is
difficult to get just the right site, but worth the effort.
